db's better range of motion and the balance factor gives more stimulation to the muscle. plus different arm angles can help you thru an injury as long as the weight can be controlled , just my 2 cents on the matter.

Easier on my shoulders using dbs for bench. Follows a more natural path than a barbell. I've also seen better pec development using dbs. But problems can arise if you go too heavy and use lower reps because of stability issues with that first rep. Keep reps above 8.

with barbel i barely feel anything in the pecs, with dumbel the pecs feel like they are doing all the work

so i guess the choice is obvious

to bad because barbell press looks cool but in the end you cant takee your barbel bench to the club, your physique is what makes you stand out from the chumps and gets you the whores, not your fucking bench press numbers

The older I get the more I move away from barbell work. Dumbbells allows your joints to move in a more natural path. Try dumbbell flat benching sometime with your hands facing each other. It really takes the pain away from the shoulder joint.
